Grief work in our sessions.

When I bring up grief, the first thing you may think of is the grief we experience surrounding death. But we don’t usually think of the everyday grief of being a human being. The grief that can accumulate when we feel rejected by our community, when we don’t feel seen by our family members, when we’ve been betrayed by someone we love. Or the grief of our unrealized dreams, the grief of unmet desires, the grief of operating in a way that feels untrue to who we are. Shedding tears in our sessions is appropriate for many reasons, but one of the causes is you releasing unacknowledged  grief and tension.

Sometimes the presence of grief may seem inappropriate for the events that are taking place in your life. You may be in a season of harvest. You’re feeling happy and blessed. Your dreams are coming true, the changes you’ve been working towards are finally happening and yet you feel the presence of grief. Your first instinct may be to dismiss or admonish it, but this grief is actually calling you to acknowledge and honor who you were and what you’ve gotten through to get to where you are. Once you take the steps to honor your grief, you create space to fully take in the joy and sweetness of this new season.  

The presence of pent up grief can make you feel inconsolable. If you’ve  been feeling miserable despite your efforts to lift your mood you may need to put more focus towards creating space for the repressed grief to be released.


How does Reiki help you heal?

  • Reiki is an instrument for managing stress and clearing stagnant emotional wounds leading to improved mental health. 

    Accumulated stress, grief and tension causes your auric field to become distorted and incoherent. When your energetic field is habitually in a distorted condition, it negatively impacts your mental wellness, leading you to become increasingly disoriented. When you’re feeling so out of touch with your senses, it may cause you to become hypervigilant (fearful), operating from a state of fight, flight or freeze. The acute states of hypervigilance are what we refer to as low vibration. Similar to a tuning fork, Reiki works to clear the static and harmonize the distortions in your energetic field thereby enabling your auric field to be coherent (clear vibration). 

    From this sound state you’re able to recognize, address and release the emotions, thoughts and perceptions that are the underlying cause of your mental health issues including (non-clinical) anxiety or depression.* 

    *Clinical anxiety and depression often need multiple interventions over time to fully heal. 

  • The human body generates electricity. The electric current in the body generates an electromagnetic field. When you are in tune with your emotions, with your creativity and your heart's desires you are able to attract experiences that are in alignment with your wants and needs. Reiki enhances your magnetism by clearing the static and friction in your auric field.

    *Sometimes we are born into this lifetime with karma (a specific assignment) that needs tending to and it overwhelms our efforts to attract and create our desires. In those times shadow work is required to align with the lessons, talents and experiences that are designed to help you complete this assignment.

  • Somatic symptom disorder refers to a person’s experience of physical symptoms such as pain or fatigue that don’t have a connection to an underlying medical problem and the “extreme” preoccupation with these physical symptoms. 

    The body is both a container and a processor of energy. Energy in the form of food, emotions, thoughts, art and experiences go through a digestive process for the purpose of nourishing, regulating and fueling our human experience on the physiological, emotional and spiritual plane. 

    Each of your organ systems have a physiological, mental and emotional  function to keep you well; they need a complimentary diet, rest and consistent cleansing to function optimally. For example, the heart systems physiological functions include circulating blood throughout the body, on a mental/emotional level it’s function is to maintain trust, compassion, and social connection. Though you may practice healthy habits to maintain physiological heart wellness, poor mental and emotional habits over time lead to detrimental physical problems for the heart system. For instance, If you’re not in the practice of letting go of anger and resentment over time, these emotions overwhelm the heart system, becoming more and more dense until they crystallize into a physical dysfunction such as dizziness and tightness in the chest.  

    Reiki addresses backed up emotional energy to alleviate the stress from your organ system to allow it to process, release toxins and regulate as needed. Regular Reiki sessions along with emotional hygiene will lead to somatic relief.
